    , ,

    This week, we are back to family trauma, clan politics, and brutal decisions for women.

    , ,

    Ingredients Directions The key to this soup is flavor. There might be more steps involved than a normal crockpot recipe. However, a good Scottish woman would have had this simmering all day at The Gathering. At least you can leave and come back!
